The weather has put a damper on my Super Bowl party plans. With the 2 and 3 feet of snow that we received yesterday, most of us are snowed in big time. We lost power for over 11 hours yesterday and just now got our cable and Internet connection up and going an hour ago. This blizzard has made a mess out of everything and we are expecting more snow on Wednesday, arg………..
My one sister is the type that has to have the best of everything for her kids. No hand me downs or seconds for her and her girls, must be nice, right? Most new mothers would love to receive anything that they can get their hands on for free. Babies and kids cost a good chunk of change and most of us are really hurting for money these days, but she and her husband are still fairing fairly well and so she just keeps on spending money like it was nothing.
Her middle daughter, Dawn, my favorite niece out of the bunch is having her 3th birthday party come March. The invitations have been sent out and the plans are being made to have a real nice party for her on her special day. We can only hope that the weather is much better then and we can enjoy the majority of the party outside. My sister is talking of having a clown and pony rides. You never know what to expect, weather wise, in the month of March and April, with all of the spring rain that comes each year, so we can only hope.
I have gone online to find some good gift ideas for Dawn’s birthday present. I have a few years experience buying clothing for her kids and one website loulouscorner.com I can always count on to have some of the most unique, stylish and trendy clothing available. They have brand names like jellycat, alex, haba, barefoot dreams, skip hop, appaman and wow toys that are just fabulous and affordable. They offer free shipping with orders over $65 and are currently having a sale with sales up to 75% off, so I should be able to find a few good deals in time to have them wrapped and ready to go by March.
Well who hasn’t dreamed of seeing their picture and their name in the lights and on a billboard some where. With this new Picjoke.com website that I’ve been playing around on it can become a reality. I think that I would have picked a better location, but begger’s can’t be too chosey can they. Now how cool is that? I’m having a ball with this and plan on passing the word to some of my friends in my email address book.
I’ve always been a bit leery of sites that offer you to make funny pictures of the photos that we all have stored on our PC. I’ve been using the computer and the Internet for many a years, but I have my strong points and my weaknesses as well and photos are one of my weaknesses. I mean I know how to take a picture, but then having to download it to my PC is another story, I can never find the right cable and then to top it all of with I can’t seem to figure out where the best place to download the buggers into. Something so simple can really mess with my mind, silly but true.
Anyway, once I’ve downloaded them they usually stay right there, but since my good friend Judy came over last night and showed me a great website that allows you to create funny pictures from your photos store on your computer’s hard drive, I think that I finally have the whole thing figured out and under control. I’ve got a lot of great pictures that have been sent to me throughout the years and I came up with one that was taken of me a few years back at an office party that I decided to play around with and I came up with a few fun photo effects that I thought were playful enough to post here. So here is my first attempt at posting funny pics from my photo shop. I think that I could enjoy this!
We got almost 6 inches of snow yesterday. It snowed all day and most of the evening. Most places are closed, people are staying inside and another storm is heading our way for next week end, arg……..I’m so sick of this winter weather, I’m so ready for spring. We haven’t had a decent weekend since before Thanksgiving and here it is almost February. Hopefully one more month and we will be done with it!
